Hypnotherapy
(hypnosis) is so effective because it enables direct access to the subconscious
mind to change the client’s unwanted beliefs and behaviors, thus facilitating
achievement of the stated vocational and avocational self-improvement goals. During
hypnosis, your mind and physical body are completely relaxed. Hypnosis bypasses
the critical area of
the mind, which serves a sentinel role to effectively
“protect” the subconscious mind’s interests: i.e., the subconscious life
script that dictates so much of our behavior. No matter
how much you consciously want to make that change—lose weight, stop
smoking, overcome performance anxiety, let go of an unsuccessful
relationship—the SCM is too invested in the current behavior to just let it go.

It
is the critical mind’s job to immediately reject any thought or behavior that
threatens the current status quo. The critical mind is so good at this job that
we often don’t realize this is going on. Even if we do, there is always a
logical or convenient (conscious) reason not to make the change, anyway.

The
most powerful aspect of hypnotherapy is that I (or another certified hypnotherapist)
can talk directly to the client’s subconscious mind to motivate the desired
behavior change. Since we are all most suggestible to
ourselves, it makes sense that the subconscious mind will also be more amenable
to making those desired behavior changes when your words/phrases are
incorporated in the hypnotic script.
The subconscious mind is much more likely to accept these suggestions that are
presented in language (metaphor or direct instruction) it understands using
phrases or terms (the client’s ow) it recognizes.

Added
benefits of hypnotherapy to help achieve these self-improvement goals are:
hypnosis is natural, safe and drug-free. In addition, hypnosis cannot “make” a
person say or do anything that he or she would not say or do in an alert state.
